So I'm looking to buy a cape with fur trim. Whatever I've seen so far I either didn't like or cost more than I wanted to spend. I saw something I like on Ali Express, but is it a ($175) gamble that I might end up regretting? Anyone have any experience?

I only buy on Ali items that are $50 or less. Sometimes the items are junk, but I've also gotten some nice things.

I've bought knit items from Ali that were so fumigated with chemicals that I had to throw them out. Even after several washings, they smelled so bad that I couldn't even have them in the house. I had to carry them straight to the outside garbage can.

This one is a much safer bet, and affordable, too.

I like this one, too. https://www.etsy.com/il-en/lis.....cns=1

I would never, I have thrown so many things out from aliexpress….I'm very burned out, even though my current winter purse is from ali, and I love it!! you win some you lose some....but it wasn't $175!! I think it was $28 (it's a down bag with fur trim, perfect for a work bag)

ONly tried and true from Ali picks or a similar sit - and not a random product. my friend got a gorgeous full fur jacket with a good hood for $100.

I know this isn't real fur but this has a great shape and is very flattering.

I like to shop on shein- similar to Ali but they accept returns. They don’t have as much of a selection, but you can search....
Good luck!

Check alispecials.com she has great Ali stuff and many tried and true. Check her Instagram bec she has brand name items with a private code for the real thing. She seems to have connections there. Other than her site I would never pay that much on Ali
